Live endpoint: https://parsley.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/parsley

Connect

• Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://parsley.usefulapi.io/mcp.
• Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http parsley https://parsley.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
• VS Code: Add to VS Code.
• Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "parsley": {
      "url": "https://parsley.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Parsley credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/parsley/

On first connect you'll paste a Parsley API key, generated in your Parsley account (the Open API is switched on per account; if you do not see API keys, ask Parsley support at [email protected]). The key acts with the permissions of the user who created it. Your credentials are validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.
